Barot

Barot, age 46, is a good-natured and pleasant man. He is married and the father of three children. He lives with his wife in a modest house, in a small-size city. In order to provide for his family, he works as a dentist at a local dental practice and he also has his own business. Although he makes a good income as a dentist, the money he makes is barely enough to feed his family. As the father of three children, Barot wants to make sure that they are not lacking anything. In order to bring more money home, he is involved in animal husbandry, which provides an additional income. His wife helps him to raise and take care of livestock. Animal husbandry is a very profitable business, and this is why Barot would like to expand his activity in this field by increasing his livestock headcount. He has turned to Arvand to receive a loan to buy some livestock. He is really hoping for a positive outcome.

About MDO Arvand

MDO Arvand is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Tajikistan, offering small loans to entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses. This makes an enormous difference in a country, which is not only the poorest in Central Asia, but also home to a population where two-thirds live below the poverty line. Today, Tajikistan's economy literally depends on remittances being sent from family members working abroad in Russia because there are so few local job opportunities.
